should i contact them?
they could be interested
(language_it a vulgar display of ignorance, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:54, archived)

No!
They make the shittest lift ever.
We've got them at work and they're bloody dangerous and never call at the floor you want as well as having no memory of who's pressed what button.
They're about as good as his bloody howitzer shells...

howitzer and lift combined!

Replace drumsticks
with celery
( Hamster Trippin', Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:53, archived)

and replace the drums with pillows

I don't really know, but
I've heard of drummers putting towels, foam or sponges in the bass drums, to make it sounds less harsh
( mediocre I am not strange, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:53, archived)

oh yes
that is a good plan... one can also loosen the bass pedal a bit so the mallet doesnt strike as hard.
( drbroon a poor wee monkey stole his face, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:55, archived)

I've said this
and I've also said 'make pads for the rest of the drums out of thick felt'.

He says there's a product you can buy. I say I have no idea, I play bass.

brushes or rods
but damp em all with towels is probably best
( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:56, archived)

And this'un'd know.

haha
reet professional, me - my bass pedal's held together with an old belt and parcel tape
( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 12:00, archived)

Proper musician, is that.
My straplock's superglued to my bass.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 12:04, archived)

(with dry towels)

there are rubber pads you can put
on the drumskins I think
( rhebus ac201fd270c3b96beab24f2829780ab2, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 11:59, archived)

that's what i thought
but i wasn't sure
( Aphex The Mink glasjay.blogspot.com, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 12:01, archived)

Drum pads are what you're after.
Dense rubber pads in various sizes that go over the skins.

Doesn't do anything for the cymbals and adversely affects the responsiveness of the drums. Not very nice to use, but would do the job.

EDIT: 'Practice Pads' is probably the more commonly used term.
( IHaveABadFeelingAboutThis Michael who?, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 12:01, archived)

you can get pads,
but they make it just sound pretty wank, brushes are generally quieter, or just make the son hit them not as hard!
